It completely baffles me that there are apparently a decent number of people who voted for this jackass who are somehow surprised he’s doing everything he said he spent months telling everyone he was going to do. Dumb fucks deserve all the pain and heartache they’re going to get. I never really understood what people get out of apocalyptic religious stories where the wicked are punished with divine torment for defying God but now that I am faced with so many people who, despite having access to all of the information required to make a better decision, willingly chose to do the wrong thing because of their willful ignorance and greed, I understand these texts so much better. It is maddening to have a way of morality and justice that you believe in and see people who you feel should do better completely disregard all you believe in. It’s no wonder people wrote stories about how there is a day of reckoning coming, where the first shall be last and the last shall be first, the wicked will be punished for knowingly defying the rules, and the good will be rewarded for staying the course. I don’t wish eternal damnation on those who voted for Trump and I don’t think there’s a God who would even do that to them but I don’t feel bad for them at all and I refuse to listen to them cry about losing their jobs or not being able to afford groceries if those things result directly from their decisions. Their Day of Judgement is coming, and it’s entirely self created. Fitting for a group of people who worship a man as a god- their god king is the source of their judgement.

I find myself increasingly not giving a shit what other people think. They should have realized 6 months ago what would happen and vote proactively. This guy is not acting like someone who cares about future elections. Which should give us a clue what is going to happen next year in the midterms.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
